THE MURMAIDS
The Murmaids were a one-hit wonder all-female vocal trio composed of sisters Carol and Terry Fischer; and Sally Gordon from Los Angeles, California who, in January 1964 reached #3 with “Popsicles and Icicles”. (More from Wikipedia)
By the early 1960’s, “girl groups” were becoming more prominent in rock and roll. The Jaynetts achieved an ethereal sound with their 1963 hit “Sally Go ’Round the Roses”. Another one-hit wonder, the Murmaids took “Popsicles and Icicles” to the Top 3 in January 1964; the song was written by David Gates, later of the band Bread, while Kim Fowley worked behind the scenes.
